Cobblestone

Cobblestone

A racist behavior used by the staff at bars, restaurants, and nightclubs with anti-urban dress code policies. The goal of cobblestoning is to deny service to black patrons by baiting them into a fight over their appearance (e.g. do-rag, backwards hats, bandana, baggy jeans). The origin for this term comes from a sports bar and restaurant in York, Pennsylvania called Cobblestones who's manager is credited with perfecting this technique.
